He was still as self-righteous as ever after six years.
Is it fun pulling a trick on everyone like this?
I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists as I dashed to the study.
When I opened the door, Ashton wasn’t there.
If we didn’t talk this through tonight, I would have trouble falling asleep, so I decided to confront him.
Suppressing my fury, I went through all the rooms on the second floor, from the guest room to the
storeroom. But he was nowhere to be found.
Finally, I went into the bedroom.
The door was wide open, and I scanned the room in the hallway. To my disappointment, the room was
empty.
At this moment, a “thump” sounded from behind, and it was the sound of the door shutting.
I turned around and almost bumped into a sturdy “wall.”
Ashton was right in front of me and the distance between the two of us was less than 0.5 centimeters. If

I pushed him away by reflex. “Mr. Fuller, please watch yourself.”
The man staggered for a few steps before stopping. He looked at me without any expression on his face,
while complicated feelings could be seen in his eyes, and it was hard to tell how he felt.
Then, silence followed, as the man said nothing, and that was what I hated the most.
“Why are you not talking?” I spoke in an overbearing manner. “Didn’t you lose your memories? You
forgot everyone and only take me as a substitute, right? So why are you getting so close to me?”
Ashton kept silent as he frowned slightly. Staying rooted to his spot, his eyes went dull as he stared at
me.
His reaction only made me feel I wasn’t trustworthy enough for him to tell me the truth.
The emotions I had long suppressed erupted as I dashed toward Ashton and hurled my fists at his chest.
“You left the woman who gave birth to two kids for you abandoned outside for six years while your
relatives erase the proofs of her existence.” I started tearing up when I recalled the painful memories of
the last six years.
My heart started aching as I grimaced. “I’ve always thought that love is endless and repeating. After
going through so many hardships, I still found myself in love and am ready to face the future with you.
But what about you? Do you remember what you said when we met again the last time? ‘Not all women
are worthy of me.’ So, am I unworthy of you?”
“You knew I was Scarlett since the beginning. You altered the DNA test results to make me live with
another identity. Is this what you wanted? To make me forget about the past and stay with you with this
new identity? You are a selfish, heartless man!” The man stayed silent during my fit of rage, and I
stopped punching him as my hands started to hurt.
“Say something! I hate you like this! Mm!” I bombarded questions at him as I wasn’t able to contain the
fury holding up inside me. Driven by the waves of emotions, I bit down hard on Ashton’s shoulders with
every ounce of my strength to let him know how hurt I was.
Right at that moment, all my bottled up frustrations and emotions dissipated with the strength I put into
hurting him.

Having used up the energy in me, my body felt weak as my legs gave way and I collapsed to the ground
uncontrollably.
Almost immediately, his large arm circled my waist and trapped me in his familiar embrace.
I struggled to break free, but he tightened his grip and pulled me closer to him.
When I raised my head, Ashton was looking at me with a fiery gaze. The man looked like an injured wolf
as his eyes were filled with passion and sorrow.
After staring at me for a few seconds, he extended his neck and leaned in closer to me. Our face was
touching and slowly, he pressed his lips on mine.
I remained rational and broke free from his grip before grabbing his arm. Looking at the man seriously, I
asked, “Can you make a choice now?”
I can’t coexist with the Hall family.
It wasn’t because I couldn’t accept them. Instead, they just wouldn’t let me off. After so many years of
scheming against me, I figured they wouldn’t let us live our lives unbothered if I remain alive.
The anguish I had suffered was carved into my body, and I still remembered the pain to this day.
Ashton seemed to be aloof, but he cherished his family. I believed he could’ve been ruthless to the Hall
family, but he kept on hesitating. As time went by, he couldn’t make up his mind to do it, so we had fallen
into the traps laid out by the Halls.
